Well, for the few of you that have been following my thread know my troubles with this rear shock already but for those that don't heres a 101.
Rebuilt the shock and ran into some trouble (Although this was my second time). Went to take the keeper nut off the shaft and the one that holds the vavleing on came off instead and knocked part of the valving off. So i took the remaining valveing off all in one piece and tried to put the seal on the from that end. Didn't work and i think i damaged the seal. So i put the valveing back on very carefully using the spare that i had shaft/valve as a guide and then took off the right bolt and put everything on the way your supposed too.
Here's the catch, went very light trail riding for about 2 hours and now the shock has no rebound. Played with the clickers and notta. Still compresses like its supposed to but the only thing pushing it back up is the spring (its like a trampoline now).
I though it was just the seal since i think i might have damaged it when i tried to put it on. But i don't see very much fluid at all around the brand-new bumpstop and just a little on the shaft. It also still has nitrogen in the bladder. This caused me to think i could have put the vavleing in wrong, although it seemed to work right when i first had it put all together.
Whats your thoughts, Valveing or seal?
